Touhou Project/Original |
Meimu (also known as M-Reimu) is a Chinese fan-made Touhou Project character who bears a strong physical resemblance to Reimu Hakurei. She was first designed by Chinese artist 淫火啲虫 (also known as AUER), and has become a popular Touhou fan character since.
Meimu was originally a formless entity that is neither human nor youkai. It was Yukari Yakumo that gave Meimu her current physical form, which was made to physically resemble Reimu Hakurei, possibly to annoy her. Meimu has considered herself part of Yukari's family ever since, even forming a friendship with Chen. Due to her original nature, Meimu is capable of alternating between two different forms; a child form and an adult form, each with its own distinct personality. For example, in her child form, she considers Reimu to be her friend, but in her adult form she considers Reimu her mortal enemy.
In M.U.G.E.N, Meimu has been made by various authors.
DarkFlare's version[]
This version is an edit of RicePigeon's version of Reimu Hakurei, with the character's charge commands replaced with and commands, with the animation timings of these moves altered to compensate. Its moveset resembles a combination of Reimu's and Yukari Yakumo's, having access to the latter's Wall Teleport by pressing while in a corner.
RicePigeon's version[]
She may look like Reimu, but this formless beast given Reimu's form shows that not even Yukari can contain her. Originally designed as the A.I.-only final boss of Touhou: Gensokyo Reloaded, Meimu's moveset exhibits references to many SNK Bosses, most notably Rugal Bernstein and Clone Zero. Her pressure tools, good priority, large damage, good mobility, and average Life value all ensure she'll reset this world back to zero.
